OK here we go.

As suggested by by someone here I think the settings are called Bendnarsk.
Opening Book: Mentor.OBK

Attacker/Defender 3
Strength of Play 100
Randomness of play 0
Max search depth 20

Pawns Weakness 133

Material:
Own Queen: 9.2 Opponents Queen 9.0
All others for both.
Rook:5.0

As noted previously I have also tried the Faber\Pilz settings against the
default CM and find that Faber\Pilz settings will beat anything that I try from
either the nunn opening positions or the mentor.obk. As I stated normally I play
100 games per match and have tried all the noted time controls previously
mentioned.

I have as stated now started a new match at 40/2hr between Faber\Pilz and the
default CM as I was shocked and suprized by what I had read here.
